diagram of a rectangle with height 6m and width 9m
perimeter: ____ m
area: ____ square m

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Perimeter of Rectangle

The formula for the perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is \( P = 2\times (length + width) \). Here, length \( l = 9 \, m \) and width \( w = 6 \, m \).
\[
P = 2\times(9 + 6) = 2\times15 = 30
\]

Step2: Calculate Area of Rectangle

The formula for the area \( A \) of a rectangle is \( A = length\times width \).
\[
A = 9\times6 = 54
\]

Answer:

Perimeter: \( 30 \) m
Area: \( 54 \) square m
